Hey Ted!
I have deployed numerous applications on Vista and Windows 7 including a
major corporation that is using Vista. I use inno setup to create a folder:
c:\users\public\applications\
I install all of my apps in this folder and I even create it on XP in
order to keep my installs consistent. Works great for me!
